SFSU worthy?

Published

I want SO badly for SFSU's nursing program to help me achieve my dreams of being a nurse and doing what I love: helping others. I really have not wanted anything so bad in my entire life because I heard the campus and faculty are AMAZING, including the NCLEX passing rates! I know it be won't easy getting in, however, I really am interested in feedback or words of encouragement from those who were fortunate enough to get in and from those who have applied to SFSU. I currently do volunteer work at a hospital in Southern California, but I may not have enough hours to have a letter by the Nursing School app deadline. I have roughly around a 3.6-3.7 GPA, a 84.7% TEAS score, I speak 3 languages, and have multicultural experience.

When exactly are nursing applications for the Fall 2012 cohort due?

Any feedback is appreciated. :) Thank you!

Your qualifications make you pretty competitive, but it kind of just depends on the competition you're up against for that particular application period. Each Fall from Oct 20- Nov 20 applications are accepted. Your application can be post marked no later than 11/20.

I just started my first semester at SFSU's nursing school and so far I LOVE it! My advice is to not give up even if you don't get in on your first try. I applied for Fall 2010 and was rejected (not even waitlisted), then I applied for Fall 2011 and was accepted right off the bat. Good luck! =)

Angelxeternity, I am extremely happy for you! :) and thank you so very much for your kind words. It definitely gives me hope hehe. If you don't mind me asking, but what did you do during the year after you got rejected from Fall 2010? Did you just continue building up your credentials? I'm curious because if I get rejected and plan to apply next year, I was thinking about using that 1 year of waiting to acquire an EMT license or perhaps take extra classes that schools like SMC or CSUEB might require. What do you think?

Personally, I worked towards a back up degree in case I never got in lol...I actually got far enough where I only need 4 more classes in that major so I'm probably going to double major in Nursing and Asian American Studies. You can pursue what interests you, maybe find a back up like I did :)

Thanks a bunch! I'll definitely see how things go. Good luck on the rest of the nursing program!!

I'm trying to apply for 2 years already, but the system of the application process is too complicated. I feel that I'm fighting against the wall. There are no advisers to help.
